Notes About The Poem

hey, check it out

(apropos of baited political hooks) 

 

being schooled

can keep you

book hooked

but being learned

can hook 

you up

to a free mind…

 

schools of fish

are fooled

by baited hooks

enticing and teasing

with exotic scents

on swaying lines…

 

retrospectively, 

whether you agree

or not with me

old-schooled dogs

can be taught

and learn 

new school tricks…

 

curiously

just check out

today’s streamed

teasing red-baited

political hooks…

hey, check it out
(apropos of baited political hooks) 

being schooled
can keep you
book hooked
but being learned
can hook 
you up
to a free mind…

schools of fish
are fooled
by baited hooks
enticing and teasing
with exotic scents
on swaying lines…

retrospectively, 
whether you agree
or not with me
old-schooled dogs
can be taught
and learn 
new school tricks…

curiously
just check out
today’s streamed
teasing red-baited
political hooks…
